Types are loadable from referenced project but code is not

Bug description

When I run this:

import { test } from 'src/util/some-module'
console.log(test())

I get

Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find package 'src' imported from ...elided.../scripts/src/some-utility/main.ts

I can import types from src but actual code fails to load for whatever reason. Running tsc for type checking passes but eslint complains so maybe this is something weird with my TSC & not specific to tsx? I'm at a loss though.

...elided.../scripts/src/some-utility/main.ts

Reproduction

I have the following (simplified) directory layout:

src/
   tsconfig.json
   project/api.ts
   util/some-module.ts
scripts/src/some-utility
   tsconfig.json
   main.ts

All the source in the project is TypeScript using ESM modules. The tsconfig for some-utility looks like this:

{
  "extends": "../tsconfig.json",
  "references": [{ "path": "../../../src" }],
}

The referenced tsconfig is:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "esnext",
    "lib": ["esnext"],
    "alwaysStrict": true,
    "strict": true,
    "noEmitOnError": true,
    "module": "esnext",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "outDir": "./../../tscOutDir",
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "types": ["@types/node"],
    "sourceMap": true,
    "paths": {
      "src/*": ["./../../src/*"]
    }
  }
}

src/tsconfig is as follows:

{
  "extends": "../tsconfig.json",
  "include": ["./**/*"],
  "compilerOptions": {
    "composite": true,
    "types": ["@cloudflare/workers-types"]
  }
}

The tsconfig it inherits is:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "baseUrl": ".",
    "paths": {
      "src/*": ["./src/*"],
      "testing/*": ["./testing/*"]
    },
    "target": "esnext",
    "lib": ["esnext"],
    "alwaysStrict": true,
    "strict": true,
    "noEmitOnError": true,
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "outDir": "tscOutDir",
    "preserveConstEnums": true,
    "esModuleInterop": true
  }
}

Can you contribute a fix?

Thanks for your issue.

Can you provide a link to a minimal reproduction repository?

What you provided is not sufficient. If it's a single file or two, I wouldn't mind to re-create it, but you have a bunch of files and only of tsconfigs. Nothing I can run to reproduce and debug.

Happy to reopen when provided.
